The Va'nyrian Consensus' Exploratory Quorum #76

Character Roster







full


Name: Nilin Gvyhe'arne
Quorum Role: Supreme StarSpeaker

Current Active Age: 6,780 years (Valorian)/67.8 Va'nyrian Cycles
Total Age (Active/seeded): 2b years (Valorian)/20,000,000 Va'nyrian Cycles
Time spent Inactive: 8b years

Height: 6'3"
Weight:165 Lbs



Description


Serenely statuesque with a head framed by flowing blue-black hair, Nilin Gvyhe'arne is rarely seen without the robes of her station, silently flowing from hall to hall in the course of her duties. A powerful psionic on her own right, her blood red eyes mark her as one of the rare Va'nyrians gifted with the "Evraïnin'Teran", roughly translated as "Star Speech"; a special manifestation of psionic power that has long been centered around Va'nyrian society going back to their tribal days as both a manifestation of power and a school of thought.

The glyph upon her forehead marks her as one who has attained the highest mastery over the Evraïnin'Teran, and serves as more than mere ornamentation. A curious blend of ancient tribalism and technological marvel, the glyph is composed of incredibly dense pico-scale machinery akin to the Va'nyr link. It's purpose however, is one that few outside the way of the Star Speech are privy to.


Personality



Pragmatic down to her core, Nilin often serves as the anchor that maintains the naturally carefree and optimistic nature of her peers in check and grounded in reality. Her position as Supreme StarSpeaker and it's responsibilities as the only one who can override a decision made by consensus often force her to act as the aloof observer, despite her natural affinity for social interaction. Outside of her duties she is often good humored and kind, but she is prone to long bouts of silence and self-reflection that at times come across as rude to those who are not familiar with her ways.

One of the only two active Va'nyrians on board the Grael'Quenoxis who were alive during the last time the Va'nyrian Consensus was forced into a war, Nilin is no stranger to the atrocities born out of strife. She is often haunted by the demons that served to cement her decision to aid the "Starbreath" into helping the Consensus achieve the peaceful way of life they achieved ten billion years ago.

Name: Frey'nja Va'tremaeus

Quorum Role: Systems Curator and Head of Applied XenoTech Research & Dissemination

Current Active Age: 1200 years (Valorian)/12 Va'nyrian Cycles
Total Age (Active/seeded): 50,000 years (Valorian)/500 Va'nyrian Cycles
Time spent Inactive: 0 years

Height: 5'8"
Weight:130 Lbs




Description

Svelte and as likely to ooze sensuality as machine lubricant, Frey'nja (Frey to her friends) is a bombshell of a woman handy with all kinds of tools in her hands. Often found buried deep in a tangle of throbbing energized wiring and whirring machinery, she's readily identified by her short blue bob cut that accentuates the strategically placed accent strips all over her custom made vacsuit.

Personality

Playful and highly inquisitive, Frey's usual outlook on life exemplifies the current generation of "young" Va'nyrians, those born at the height of their Utopian age, and who have never experienced the horrors of Va'nyrian war. An irredeemable flirt, Frey is legendary among her peers for Cyprian-esque acts that label her closer to some sort of force of nature even among the progressive and free loving Va'nyrian youth. Her off-duty proclivities aside, Frey's highly analytic and critical thinking skills coupled with her insatiable curiosity and off the charts intelligence make her a natural at her duties as the person in charge for all things technology the Quorum might encounter.

History

From an early age, Frey'nja's aptitude for all things mechanical was apparent to all members of her community. By the time she could walk, all matter of bits and ends were habitually missing from her nursery only to appear reassembled into other fantastical things elsewhere. It wasn't long before she would be found communing with the personalities of the greatest Va'nyrian thinkers and makers within the Aman'Teran rather than playing with her nursery mates. Her love for tinkering only intensified from there, completely overwhelming her everyday life until she discovered her other passion: Passion. Fast forward a few millenniums, and Frey is now herself legendary for her contributions to both Va'nyrian technological advance, and the morale of all who work with her.

Name: Xilunexus
Race: Artificial Intelligence
Quorum Role: Quorum Coordinator and Keeper of the Seed

Age: 10b years (Valorian)/100,000,000 Va'nyrian Cycles

Height: 5'5"
Weight: 100 Lbs

Description

Omnipresent and nigh omniscient when it comes to all things Va'nyrian, Xilunexus was the first and remains the most advanced artificial intelligence created by the Va'nyrians. The brainchild of Gherin Va'tremaeus, Xilunexus' absolute priority is to ensure the perpetuity of the Va'nyrian seed should a massive catastrophe befall Va'nyrian civilization leaving them with no active hosts. While a direct necessity after the events of the last Va'nyrian War, Xilunexus' duties have massively expanded as her own personality developed over the eons. While originally bound to the Va'nyrian homeworld, Xilunexus' increasingly developing personality and capacity for learning soon saw her status changed from simple tool to a fully recognized citizen of the consensus.

By definition an incorporeal entity, Xilunexus evolved to become an omnipresent companion to all Va'nyrian citizens; aiding them in both their daily lives, and with their self appointed mission. A version of her can be found in all Va'nyrian space, and accompanying every Quorum. Since gaining status as a full member of the Consensus, she has been authorized and given the power to control versioning over herself utilizing a modified Seed transmission protocol. Her different versions are all interconnected with her core in The Seed chamber and with every transmission home from the Quorum, her core is able to both assimilate and push any knowledge to her offworld versions.

Due to the special nature of the Exploratory Quorum 76's mission and it's location, it was decided that Xilunexus should have a physical shell with which to directly interact with the world in order to best serve the Quorum. Frey'nja Va'tremaeus, the foremost Va'nyrian authority in all fields of engineering and great granddaughter of her creator crafted a special corporeal shell for Xilunexus approximating the closest guess they were able to extract from Ø111Ø100 ØØ10ØØ100ØØ11110ØØ100ØØ111 Elo'Rantus 10ØØ10 10 10ØØ10011 Father 10ØØ100Ø 10ØØ100ØØ111 Starbreath 10ØØ100ØØ111 10ØØ100ØØØØ100ØØ111 10ØØ100ØØ111 10ØØØØ11110ØØ.

As a result, Xilunexus ironically resembles a human more closely than a Va'nyrian does.


Personality


Eternally calm and with a genuine desire to help her creators, Xilunexus cheerfully and gladly handles the day to day tasks involving the coordination that keeps the Quorums running smoothly. This however, does not mean she lacks free-will, and it is not uncommon for her to be found arguing with Gherin over one thing or another while she handles her workload in the background. As highly inquisitive as any Va'nyrian, she routinely expands the limits of the Va'nyrian knowledge by assisting virtually all Knowledge Collectors with their work. Ever since gaining a physical shell she's been routinely seen hanging out with Frey'nja Va'tremaeus during her "Off duty" time.

Name: Diarneus Bevernixian
Quorum Role: Master of Tongues, Head of XenoPsychological and XenoPhysiological Research & Dissemination

Current Active Age: 21,100 years (Valorian)/211 Va'nyrian Cycles
Total Age (Active/seeded): 820,000 years (Valorian)/8,200 Va'nyrian Cycles
Time spent Inactive: 500,000 years

Height:
7' 6"
Weight: 275 Lbs

Description

Imposingly tall and stern faced, Diarneus is often wrongly branded as aloof and supercilious by those prone to characterization by looks and who are not acquainted with him. In reality his powerful empathic tendencies born out of latent psionic expression are at the core of his being and the reason for his exceptional aptitude in the fields of Xeno-Physiological and Xeno-Psychological study which constitute his primary formal profession in the Quorum 76's mission.

Like most Va'nyrians however, he is also devoted to the personal pursuit of various other forms of knowledge and his greatest avocation is the study of the "Terani'Vosci" or All-Meaning, the study of the meaning of all things. It is out of his dedication and research into the All-Meaning that he gets his unofficial title among his peers: Master of Tongues.

Adept and fluent in the languages of over a hundred civilizations, Diarneus has the peculiar ability of understanding any foreign language or dialect he hears on an instinctual level, even if he is unable to reproduce or reciprocate it. This ability lends itself specially well in the learning of new languages, and he's often sent in an ambassadorial role by the Consensus and the Quorums he participates in when these encounter new sentient life forms. It also lends itself to another talent: Magic.

The Vanyrian Consensus has long known of the existence of the metaphysical and the preternatural; They have had contact with beings professing to be "gods", and individuals with the ability to affect change in their environments via the willful manifestation of varied phenomena through obscure methods of cause. Students of the "Terani'Vosci" have long since dedicated themselves to the incredibly complex task of studying the origins and expression of so called "magic", and while their theories are as varied as the different expressions this curious form of change takes, they have all reached the same conclusion: It exists.

Through rigorous study and applications of will, Diarneus has managed to reconcile the expression of magic as another quirk of reality, one that can be studied, demonstrated, and utilized. Synergizing the use of Va'nyrian technology with the various forms of magic he's been exposed to through the efforts of the Consensus to explore the cosmos and all it has to offer, Diarneus has been able to fashion himself a niche as the Va'nyrian Consensus' most prominent and dedicated "Techno-Mage".


Personality


Despite his imposing and stern looks, Diarneus is a surprisingly caring and empathtic person. Often the willing mediator, he is known for his calm and welcoming demeanor, and his peers often find him the first and often best source for personal sage advice.

In contrast with his openly welcoming demeanor in the course of his official duties, he his highly private with his personal life and personal studies in the All-Meaning. When off duty he can often be found either deep in a meditative trance or deeply into his research, and seldom socializes unless a call for consensus is issued, or unless Frey'nja floods his Va'nyr link with requests before dragging him from his studies and into reluctant mischief.

Name: Gherin Va'tremaeus

Quorum Role: Head Knowledge Collector and Keeper of the Seed

Current Active Age: 14,482 years (Valorian)/144.82 Va'nyrian Cycles
Total Age (Active/Seeded): 5.65b years (Valorian)/ 56,500,000 Va'nyrian Cycles
Time spent Inactive: 4.35b years

Height: 6'1"
Weight: 205 lbs





Description

Stern of posture and economical of movement, Gherin is a man of few words and many thoughts. One of the original knowledge collectors responsible for the invention of the Va'nyr, and later the creator of The Seed; he has been highly esteemed for all of Va'nyrian history, and is one of the oldest Va'nyrians to still walk the cosmos. He has lived for so long that his mental image of himself produces an irrevocably aged visage, regardless of the active age of his bodies.

Despite his visual age, he still remains limber of mind and body, and can often be found practicing the ancient martial form of Favrin'Telan pioneered by him in ages past during his tenure with the Va'nyrian Right Hand.

As the first Keeper of The Seed, few know more about the secrets of old Va'nyrium than he, and his Va'nyr link is specially crafted to maintain a live connection to The Seed and into the Aman'Teran, allowing him the ability to freely converse and even physically host seeded personalities.

His status as the Head Knowledge Collector not only for Quorum 76, but for all Va'nyrian civilization as a whole is more than a mere formality, as his endless will to learn is matched only by his incredible capacity to understand the finer workings of both technological and ideological constructs after very short study.

It is this trait over all others that ensured the survival of Va’nyrian society after the events of 0101010hgja-11410414101010 and the sacrifice 1-21010103 Starbreath -19194101012 still felt even to this day since the fall 104101401414 Father of Desolation 19414910159013-19414149151-5 It is for this reason that his greatest wish is to uncover the truth being the 0-4-204-252586283 Exodus by the Elo’Rantus 010101akakfkahjg and placed him along with the rest of Va'nyrian civilization on their current path of pacifism.

Personality

Slow to anger and even slower to disagree; Gherin is above all things, an eternal learner. His drive to tinker, create, upgrade, and produce are secondary to his drive to learn the 'why' behind everything.

As the man directly responsible with setting Va'nyrian society in the path of learning all the universe has to teach, nothing is more valuable to Gherin than learning new things, however mundane they may seem to others and it is for learning that he still lives. Despite his earnest approach to learning, he fully realizes even he will not be able to learn all there is to learn, and his final wish before the eternal sleep is to learn the final Va'nyrian truth: 'Why are we here?'.

Name: Aeldric Gudmund Gunnarson

Race: Human (Northlands)

Affiliation: Warden of the Elysian Vanguard, Grandmaster

Age: 46

Height: 6'3" (190 cm)

Weight: 185 lbs (84 kg)








Aeldric is—much like his faith in the Light—a living example in sturdiness. Broad of shoulder, barrel chested, and long of limb; it would not be untoward to confuse him with a stone wall when glimpsing him from the corner of your eye. What would be untoward however, would be to stand in the path of his righteous charge. Despite his size and mass, Aeldric is a seasoned warrior whose movements in the heat of battle frequently belie the expectations his opponents might have of such a man.

Similarly, his propensity to scowl and be stern of expression often belie his alacrity to smile and aid the unfortunate. Many are the recruits who go through his tutelage with a certain expectation of unyielding hardness—perhaps reinforced by many rebukes growled from tight lips under a piercing hazel gaze—only to find themselves flabbergasted at the friendly ally they meet once they become Wardens.

Regardless of which side of temperament you place him however, it is not uncommon to find the battle worn man in quiet reflection and plainly dressed when not exercising his teaching or other duties.








At the core of Aeldric's being lies a single truth, and one that he unshakably believes in and strives to follow. His only axiom in life; The will of the Light is fundamentally good. His belief that the Light exists to illuminate the righteous path to an orderly life in the world is the core of his dogma. This is not to say that Aeldric is not a wordly man. Unlike others who believe as he does, he does not claim to have an all encompassing knowledge of the workings of the Light, or it's finer turnings.

He simply believes himself to be an instrument for It's will, so that the right path for all might be illuminated in it's light. He is unconcerned with how others might choose to live their lives or what they might believe in, for he himself has seen the Light shine through the darkest of hearts.

In matters not related to his beliefs, he's generally considered either a quiet recluse or a silent yet affable companion depending on where his regard for another is. Among friends he jests freely enough, and while disdainful of drunkards, he's no stranger to giving in to a good celebration. He's loved and been loved, he's gained and he's lost.

He's a man with a life, but one with a self-ordained purpose to prioritize.









full


Aeldric's most powerful weapon is his total faith in the power of the Light. For reasons that he has decided are not his place to question, he has found that when it comes to the enemies of the Light, his will serves as a direct extension of the Light's. As long as he believes his course to be in line with the Light's will (and it it's not within him to take any other course) everything he touches becomes an object of Light's righteous retribution against the forces of the Void.

Whether he wields a spoon, a yardstick, or a sword; as long as his target is a combatant against the order that is Light, his weapon will shine brightly with It's fury. This effect manifests itself in a myriad of ways, and immensely empowers the object to the purpose of smiting the Void. Blades become sharper and incapable of being dulled, blunt instruments hit their opponents with the weight of the world behind them, projectiles fly true and pierce through the strongest of barriers. Whatever is needed for Aeldric to champion the Light, It provides for him.

His status as a stalwart champion of the Light did not escape the notice of the lesser divinities, and to him was bestowed a gift of protection from a group of deities aligned with the Light so that It's weapon might be not be easily turned aside. On his person he wears at all times a simple pendant in the shape of a twinkling star, carved from the bough of a living tree.

The ever-warm pendant around his neck serves as a conduit for the favor the assorted gods of the Light granted him, a suit of mystical ethereal armor that is ever ready to protect the champion of the Light at the speed of thought.

Forged of alloys unknown to mortal-hood which shine with an otherworldly inner light and crafted in some lofty celestial smithy, the armor imbues Aeldric with the breath of it's makers so that he might carry out the will of the Light. While wearing it, he's capable of incredible feats of athleticism beyond his mortal body, and unflagging stamina to carry out his duty.

In his experience, only the strongest of Void's kin have ever managed to damage it in order to cause him harm. For all that, after it's wearer has recuperated, the suit of armor is always returned to it's pristine condition upon it's summoning.

Outside of the boons of divinity, Aeldric also has a life time of strife backed experience to serve as his weapon, and the lessons of his own teachers still serve him well. He's experienced with a wide variety of weapons and their mundane use, and is also an extremely well versed hand to hand combatant.








(The annals of the past are yet murky in their recollection, and the writing hand of the present has yet to record them. It is up to the eye of the future yet to see this come to pass.)

Name: Ragenard Guiscard

Race: Issunar Werewolf (Born)
Age: 83

Nationality: Lutetian (Born), Iverian (Naturalized)
Affiliation: Leader of the Bloodstone Pack (Currently)

Human Form
Height: 7'1" (216 cm)

Height: 12'3" (375 cm)
Weight: 1,701 lbs (772 kg)

The Man

Standing at seven feet tall, gaunt of face, and broad shouldered, Ragenard is a physically imposing man. His well muscled physique—borne of a hard lifestyle and enhanced by the beast within—is thoroughly crisscrossed by the scars of a hard upbringing and a misspent youth.

While at first glance a brute, it wouldn't take long for an observer to notice the cunning intelligence behind his hazel eyed gaze. The worn-in laugh lines on his face would indicate that despite a near constant scowling visage and sour demeanor, at some point in his life the man knew how to laugh.


The Beast

Standing slightly north of twelve feet tall when on it's hind legs and weighing in at 1,700 lbs, the current mutation of Ragenard's inner wolf can be aptly described as a "black-furred monstrosity". Of an unnatural morphology, bipedal, grotesquely muscled with claws the size of a man's hands and teeth the size of the same's fingers; one could almost be forgiven from giving in to the instinct to take flight when faced with such a monster in a dark alley. At least up until the point where the realization sinks in that the large beast giving chase is not of the lumbering persuasion.

Raging at the memories of a more agile past; by intensely abusing it's prodigious strength, stamina, and superlative regeneration ability, Ragenard's wolf form is capable of feats of speed and athleticism that simply stagger the imagination of those witnessing such from the hulking monster—although some would contend that it is more the blase approach of pushing bone and sinew to it's breaking point repeatedly that do the staggering.

Of particular note is the sheer scale of the beast's power of regeneration, a force so far removed from the norm of it's kind as to label him a monster unto itself. A direct consequence of "the event" upon his physiology decades ago, when his already prodigious natural ability to heal was taxed beyond it's breaking point and circumstances crashed into his body to change it forever.

Ragenard's regenerative abilities can be more accurately measured not against others of his kind, but held in comparison to some of the more ancient examples of his most detested enemies, vampires. One of which found it's accursed blood forever mingled with the man's own innate engine of predatory evolution and further mixed in with a good dose of Fae hexing to form the steadily changing monster he is now, and whose rage may have no horizon.








full




Loud, forceful, quick to anger; all of these things can be said to describe Ragenard's demeanor, but it would be an injustice to limit the man to that. Beneath the quick-fire facade born and nurtured by his harsh upbringing as a child in the environment of Lutetia's criminal underbelly lies a deeply layered psyche that often finds itself at odds with the world around him.

Not one to know how to show affection without feeling the vulnerability of the act, Ragenard usually keeps friends and family at bay. However, those who know him best know that it is not his gruff words that define his level of caring, but his actions, which are always quick to turn—if brusquely—towards the aid of those he holds close.

Stoic or wrathful may be his most common states of being in public, but privately Ragenard is prone to long bouts of self-deprecation and self-imposed anguish as he battles with the demons of his checkered past, questions the path of his present, and grips with the reality that his future may never answer the question of whether or not he is a man or a monster.
